Some light & airy bouquets for you to enjoy ✨ PLUS a pro tip on picking color schemes ⬇️ When selecting your colors for your wedding, which then will translate into what flowers we select, think about if you prefer complementary or contrasting colors. What does that mean? Complimentary colors are all going to be on the same side of a color wheel. For instance, this picture is boasting complimentary colors. They’re all light, cool tones. A contrasting color palette would have colors that are opposite on the color wheel. So if your girls are wearing blue dresses, the flowers might be yellow, red, orange, or fuchsia. (They can be in pastel tones too but I figured this would be easier to visualize). There are no right answers when it comes to picking colors, just what your eye gravitates towards. If you’re trying to decide what’s best for you, look around your house and see what your decor says about you. Did you pick a color palette to go throughout the house or do you have a beautiful mix of colors? Use that information to translate into a wedding design that will feel like “you”.

Spent this weekend ✨hustling✨ new ideas for my little corner of the internet & the Thistle Bee fam. What does that include: - getting supplies in for my Valentine’s Day orders - prepping micro wedding ceremony packages to be offered in the spring - dreaming up all the details for the styled shoot I’m hosting - working on new clients designs - content creation for February (still in the works) - && oh yeah, wrapping up details for my own wedding! What we’re you up to this weekend? Photo @monikademyer 
Anyone else scrolling through their camera roll a little more often lately? I’ve been deeply missing designing but I will say with the boatloads of consultations we are having with new clients, the excitement and thrill of this job are coming right back! PS 2022 couples don’t wait to book...I have a feeling we’ll be closing our 2022 calendar soon 😅 What’s one thing you miss that you look forward to enjoying again (hopefully soon)?

As I sat working on invitations and stuffing envelopes for my wedding, I realized how many details and how much time went into this process. I grossly underestimated the complexity, and systems that would need to be in place to ensure all cards were hand addressed correctly, envelopes properly weighed, and that every invitation was going the correct way so that each guest could have the same experience opening it. Do you know why I deeply underestimated the work on it? I never did it before... but mostly, I never did it to that size and scale (aka lots of guests). Then it dawned on me...(hello light bulb moment?!!) Most couples getting married have no experience behind the scenes on what goes into making the celebrations we love to attend run so smooth! Vendors at these events make it look EASY! You know why? Because they have years of experience perfecting their craft and improving their process. I digress all this because as I sat stuffing envelopes I remembered the importance of having a team that you can trust. The details and time spent doing tasks alone can feel daunting, but with a good team by your side, working together can feel effortless. What’s one wedding task that you thought would be easy but surprised you with difficulty? Photo @lytlephotographycompany Styling @storybydesignevents
